Tandoori chicken is a very well-loved, very common dish served in India as chaat, and most Indian restaurants worldwide. It basically consists of roasted chicken, yogurt, and spices. The chicken, marinated in curd and seasoned with tandoori masala, gets it brilliant red hue from several different hot spices, a few of which include cayenne pepper, turmeric, red chili powder. The chicken is then traditionally cooked at high temperatures in a tandoor, (clay oven), thus, the name, tandoori chicken. However, the spicy meal can also be prepared on an ordinary barbecue grill.
The picture above is a very dramatic and colorful clip of the chicken being served as street food in Mumbai.
